Send us Fan Mail

The battle for the 2026 Solent Cup left honours split between Southampton and Portsmouth. Gate-crashers Riverside and winter-warriors Warsash took home the top winter prize in south coast inter-club tennis. 

Dave Ernsberger & Robin Ellison were on site for six hours of top class tennis. Even furious wind and a biting chill couldn’t stop some top tennis being played. 

In this episode we review the day itself, with a closer look at the teams that showed up and a deeper dive into how the spoils were shared.

We hear from the captains of mens champions Riverside at the end of the show.   

Also in this episode - closing the books on the Southampton LTA’s winter season. 13 clubs took divisional titles this winter, after virtually all of the fixture backlog managed to clear over three frantic weeks of tennis. Just one division left fixtures unplayed - Mens Division Five.

And resolving once and for all exactly how far away Salisbury is from Thornden Tennis Club.
